When I was in college, I was most annoyed by the subway security check in this city, because every time I passed the security check, I felt like a prisoner, being turned around by the other side, groping around, and sometimes even taking a bottle of water, obviously I had already drunk it in front. After the security check, someone will remind you to drink again, which can be said to be very annoying. But since I went to Shanghai, I have changed a lot on the subway, not for anything else, because the subway security here is very casual, not only there are not so many flowers around, but sometimes even if you go directly with your bag on your back, no one cares about you, which is very convenient for those who are carrying big bags and rushing around.

Two: the shops in the most prosperous areas are actually doing the trick of reducing prices for three days and moving out when they are sold out.

Before I went to Shanghai, Shanghai in my mind was prosperous, tall and resplendent, and every store sold beautiful goods. However, I didn't know what wishful thinking meant until I went to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. What I can't accept is that there is a very big shop near the end of the Bund. Although there is nothing wrong with people selling this, I always feel that this kind of behavior is somewhat out of place with Shanghai. Besides, the rent on the Bund is too expensive. Can you earn the rent back with this income?

Three: You really can't live without sharing a room with others.

In the impression of most people, Shanghai is a first-tier city with many opportunities and rich wages, but this is not the case. Take me for example, the salary of my first job in Shanghai was only 4,500 yuan, and I worked hard to get this job. In sharp contrast to low wages, rents in Shanghai are really high. The shabby one-bedroom apartment in the suburbs needs to pay more than 2,000 yuan a month, not including utilities. Those houses that are close to the city are even more scary. To put it bluntly, my salary is not even enough for one month's rent, and I can't live without sharing with others.

Four: Take the subway to work for nearly an hour.

I remember when I was in college, the walking distance from our dormitory to the school building was about 15 minutes. Although the distance is not very far, every time I walk this 15 minute, I always feel as if a century has passed, so that I often complain to my roommates why the school has to build such a large campus. However, after I settled in Shanghai, I realized that 15 minutes is nothing at all, and it can even be said that it is very close. For most of the drifters in Shanghai, an hour's journey from renting a house to the company is close. Some people who have no money live far away, and it takes at least an hour and a half to get to the company.
